0 CoolCatBad Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Programming Editors Enigma http://www.enigma-uk.freeserve.co.uk/Enigma.htm Enigma is an editor and IDE with a difference. Like other editors, you can use Enigma as a text and image editor and configure it to automatically feed text files into your favourite compiler. The text editor currently includes syntax colouring for C/C++, Java, C#, HTML, Pascal, Basic, ASM, Fortran, Perl, Python and PHP files. You can also configure Enigma to provide colouring for other languages. Both the text editor and the image editor have multiple undo/redo facilities as well as many other features you would normally expect in a good IDE. The difference between Enigma and other IDEs is that you can also use Enigma to create and edit resources (dialogs, 'editors', menus, tool bars, status bars....) on the fly. These become Enigma add-ons with the result that you can create and release your own applications based on Enigma.

0 Jz81 Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. Unfortunately although its powerful compression rate, it has high hardware requirements (I recommend processor with 1,5GHz clock and 256MB of RAM as an essential minimum). One of the advantages of KGB Archiver is also AES-256 encryption which is used to encrypt the archives. This is one of the strongest encryptions known for human.
